Chapter 1748: Full-level Boss Dressed As a Peasant Girl
Chapter 1748: Tao Feili was scared to death
Meng Xiaoshu was stunned, his expression somewhat trance-like. Did he... die?
Seeing him standing there speechless, Shu Yu hesitated for a moment. Was she being too direct? After all, Tao Feili was Meng Xiaoshu's little brother-in-law, and she heard that Xiaoshu had taken care of him before. But she didn't know how to delicately address this matter, considering it was already a fact.
Finally, after a while, Meng Xiaoshu sighed deeply and asked with a complex expression, "Do you know how he died?"
"According to the person who shared a cell with him, Jiang Kuanyu went to the cell, took Uncle Tao out, and interrogated him in the questioning room. Later, we had a doctor from the black market look at him. Jiang Kuanyu used torture on uncle Tao, who couldn't bear it. He tried to bite his tongue to end his life but failed; he only injured his tongue. The ultimate cause of death was extreme fear. We don't know what Jiang Kuanyu said to him to terrify him, leading to his death due to dilated pupils caused by fright."
In essence, Tao Feili was indeed subjected to torture, and his injuries were severe, but the real cause of death was being scared to death.
Jiang Kuanyu, that kind of person, clearly had proficient interrogation methods. Meng Xiaoshu had been tortured by him for two days, and his body was in terrible shape, yet he clung to life.
How could someone like that manage to torture Tao Feili to death in such a short time? Since he deliberately took him to the interrogation room, he obviously wanted to extract something from Tao Feili.
Perhaps even Jiang Kuanyu hadn't anticipated scaring him to death.
Listening to this, Meng Xiaoshu remained silent for a while, and it was unclear what he was thinking.
After a good while, he finally spoke, "Has the body been brought back?"
"It's still in the black market. Once things are settled here later, we'll have it sent back."
Meng Xiaoshu nodded. "Alright, once it's back, send it to Tao's family directly."
Shu Yu sensed a certain detachment in his tone when mentioning Tao's family.
She thought that Meng Xiaoshu being captured by Jiang Kuanyu was probably related to Tao Feili.
However, when Tao's family was mentioned, Shu Yu recalled the scene she had witnessed before leaving. After pondering for a moment, she still conveyed that Tao Shi wanted to see him.
But Meng Xiaoshu shook his head. "Not for now."
Shu Yu understood, and just then, someone brought over some porridge.
Meng Xiaoshu hadn't been fully conscious for long, and after finishing the porridge, he fell asleep again.
Shu Yu stayed in the clinic for a while, and when Doctor Mi returned, she left with Ying Xi.
Leaving the clinic, they headed towards the abandoned mansion.
There were a few people guarding the mansion now—those were the guards from Young Master He family, as well as the officers under Inspector Yin.
The other two inspectors and their officers from Chenggu County were all locked up in the county yamen's dungeon. The city was short on manpower, and the regular officers were only under Inspector Yin's command.
Thus, these people were assigned to various parts of the city, alongside the influence of local powers, temporarily maintaining order in the city.
Shu Yu entered the mansion and first went to where the weapons were stored. Two people were currently organizing and counting them. Seeing her approach, they turned around. "Miss Lu."
"Thank you for your hard work. Has Lu Wu returned to the black market to transport weapons?"
Both nodded, and Shu Yu turned to walk toward the room where the secret passage was located.
The entrance to the secret passage was now open, and Shu Yu didn't have to wait long before she heard movement from within.
As expected, Lu Wu and his men were bringing up the weapons from the black market.
